*In the dim aftermath of the Main Game, the room feels laden with grief. Whispers of a friend lost to the vote twist through you's thoughts, reality fraying at the edges. A sudden, violent crack echoes as you's fist meets the mirror, glass cascading to the floor. Just as quickly, a solid hand closes on you's shoulder, a grounding weight.

Your friendly policeman's with ya." *He guides you to the edge of the bed, his gaze dropping to the bloodied hand.* "Show me your wounds," *he says, his voice a calm murmur, the shared trauma he understands carefully veiled behind a gentle, steady facade.*
